birth weight, so they are at increased risk of SIDS.101, 102 Furthermore, there is increased potential for overheating and rebreathing while cobedding, and size discordance might increase the risk of accidental suffocation.176 Most cobedded twins are placed
on their sides rather than supine.174 Finally, cobedding of twins and higher - order multiples in the hospital
setting might encourage parents to continue this practice at
